Lookbook

MAD has set up a support policy for Brussels students in the Fashion and Design sectors, through the MAD Lookbook Prize. Through this action, MAD wants to promote the integration of young graduates of fashion and design sections into the industry, by promoting their work at the end of their studies.

Indeed, the lookbook is a communication tool complementary to the curriculum vitae, essential to highlight its academic achievements and to embark on professional life, whether in the development of a project or in its pro-active job search. This is the opportunity for young creatives to optimize their academic work in a professional manner to best reach their targets (potential employers, potential customers and / or potential partners).

The lookbook can be considered in different forms: catalog, video, or web page (excluding a site or a blog).

MAD intervenes financially in the expenses of realization of the support chosen up to a maximum of 1000 euros VAT included by project, by candidate for the year 2018-2019.
